It is an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be battle with substance abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother was already hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and just couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their baby. Continuing drug use when pregnant is not only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal simply because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse during their pregnancy. And no one wants to have their baby taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit. Programs for pregnant women may offer woman actual solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby when it's born. In a rehab for pregnant women, women can be safely detoxed without any unwanted effects that could compromise their health or the well-being of their infant. They are able to continue in rehab of sufficient length for the support and care that they must to fully grasp their addiction and just what caused it, to stop these scenarios and circumstances in the future so they can be a good mother for their child.
